    Thank you. I did what you said and now it appears to be working. I am not sure where I went wrong the first time.

        Where do you have to install MY Sensor library? I have downloaded Arduino-Master and copied all the files into Arduino Library but its not working.

          @jeylites instructions are available at http://www.mysensors.org/about/arduino#installing-the-sensor-libraries

            @jeylites perhaps I can help by telling you what I belive I did wrong. After I unzipped the Arduino master file I put the whole thing into the library file. I think this caused some confusion. When I went back and did a clean install as was suggested I only moved over the my sensors file folder into the arduino library folder. Worked perfectly after that.

                After checking, I notice there are two library folder. There is one in My Documents and another in Program Files - Arduino - library. Which MY Sensor files need to go into which folder?

                  @jeylites from the instructions:
                  *To find the the location where you should put the bundled libraries, start up the Arduino IDE and open Preferences under the "File" menu on Windows or "Arduino" menu on Mac OS X.

                  Note the "Sketchbook location" on your computer drive.

                  Now extract the content of the library zip archive to the sketchbook location on your hard drive.. You can drop everything you find in the zip (including libraries folder) to your sketchbook location.*

                    Out of curiosity, what version Arduino are you running? I ran version 1.0.6 without any problems. I only have an issue on 1.6.7. It looks like 1.6.7 manages library differently.

                      I think I have 1.6.5.
